After various rumors, the official confirmation and the first photos of Charles Leclerc as an aviator on a fighter jet have finally arrived.
Charles Leclerc temporarily abandons driving the Ferrari to take control of a fighter jet in a completely new role, that of an aviator. For the Monegasque, this is an entirely new project where he takes on an unexpected role that no one would have ever imagined.
It all stems from a project with the Canal Plus network, which handles this type of programming. For the Ferrari driver, this is his first time participating in such an experience. Not only that, but it will all be turned into a documentary that will be available on November 3rd at 5:00 PM on Canal+.
“For the first time in his life, Charles Leclerc boards a Rafale to take part in an air force training mission. A unique experience captured in the documentary titled *Charles Leclerc: Supersonique*.”
Why is Charles Leclerc flying a fighter jet?
The driver then posted on his social media channels with all the photos from the experience and a special thanks to Canal+ for giving him this opportunity. The experience for Ferrari’s number 16 driver is certainly one to be told.
“What an incredible opportunity with Canal+ that gave me the chance to pilot such a machine. Being able to compare that feeling of speed with what I usually experience in a Formula 1 car was really special. Stay tuned for the full experience next week,” writes number 16 on social media.
In short, a promising period for the Maranello driver. After nearly a month’s break from Formula 1, he returned to the track in the United States Grand Prix at the Austin circuit. On Texan soil, he claimed victory in the 19th round of the 2024 Formula 1 season and has effectively reopened the possibility of fighting both for the constructors’ and drivers’ championships. In short, Charles Leclerc is surprising everyone.
